Who has babies in the middle of the winter? We do...and we've done it twice. The difference is that with Addison we lived in Las Vegas and not in the middle of a frozen winter wonderland. I really love living in Idaho, BUT this winter has been a tad long and intense for me. We have all been sick lately and the result of all of that sickness was that the babies ended up with RSV. We took them to the ER on the 4th because they were having a hard time breathing. We just got discharged from the hospital today...the 14th. Yes, that's right 10 long days in the hospital with newborns. I slept there every night and only went home briefly three times to see the girls. Brandon came every night after work and spent almost every night at the hospital too. When he didn't stay the night my sister Brooke did. The babies were on oxygen the whole time and had to have their tiny noses suctioned out. Not fun! We were really lucky it wasn't worse though. I'm sick of hospital food and I've even had my fill of HGTV for awhile (if you can believe it!) Today the babies are 4 weeks old and have only spent 2 weeks at home. Avery weighs 6 lbs. 2 oz. and Aiden 6 lbs. 3 oz. Well, we're just glad to finally be home! The moral of the story is...don't have babies during RSV season.

Oh no!! Scary. So glad they are doing fine now and that you guys got to come home on Valentine's Day. It's so hard with teenie babies to keep them from getting sick. I can't imagine TWO sick teenie babies. I would say "this too shall pass" but I'm not the one getting up all night with sick, newborn twins so I'll shut up. Wish we were closer so I could give you a hand but it's wonderful that your sister has been such a blessing to you. Hope everyone gets better! ♥ ya!
Brandon and Britney we had no idea! Well, Jared may have known...he forgets to tell me very important things all the time. But I am so sorry! I can't think of anything more scary. I am glad everyone is doing better. All of your girls are beautiful! Hang in there...Spring has got to be right around the corner...Right?
